[Blood] Shura's Castle

Finally, after the nightmare quiz and the headache-inducing solution exam, the English teacher sincerely apologized to the students in class on Wednesday: "I am very sorry for giving you such a hard time the week before your major exam. Burden, I pray God will forgive me..."

She had a pious expression on her face, and Leng Xing's incomparable resentment towards her before was almost reduced to nothing by this sincere expression.

Later, at a time Leng Xing had never experienced before, the English teacher gave them a lot of homework on the eve of the final exam, and then prayed in class, hoping that God would forgive her.

"I really can't figure out how she can pick her time so well?!" Leng Xing almost went crazy, her nostrils flapping angrily.

"That's right, did you notice that the busier we are, the more trouble she will make..." Leng Xing's roommate Xiao B responded.

"What did you say that English class is afternoon tea? Is there such a rich afternoon tea?" Another roommate Xiao Y asked. [1]

"Don't mention afternoon tea to me, this hypocritical woman." The first roommate was extremely indignant.She swung her arms wildly, her movements were extremely exaggerated, but every word she uttered had a vicious tone, "If she starts telling us that English class is very important and the burden is heavy, I can't accept it. I just can't see it." I'm used to her acting like this, while telling us that English class is easy and unimportant, and don't worry about afternoon tea, while giving us homework to remind us how important her class is!"

"never mind."

The initiator of the topic, Leng Xing, said suddenly.

"what?!"

"Compared to the words in Classes [-] and [-], she is better. Xiao Luoli and Xiao Le have told me many times that they need to dictate words in class." Both Xiao Luoli and Xiao Le are good friends of Leng Xing , but they were not separated with Leng Xing when they were divided into classes.

Seeing the resentment of his roommates, Leng Xing, who was complaining, had no choice but to come out to smooth things over, otherwise...they would all be trapped in a haze for a long time and couldn't extricate themselves.

"It seems that I really don't know, I'm shocked."

"That's right, what age is it now, and we still dictate words, and we are not junior high school students..."

"The so-called afternoon tea, you can treat it as a banquet for the entire Han Dynasty." Leng Xing straightened his hair and sighed helplessly.

The schoolbag on the shoulder seems to be heavier.

November, known as the Brumaire Moon, has turned into a month of hellish nightmares.When the exams come, the top academics are promoted to gods of learning, the scumbags are forced to become top academics, and the weak academics are also staying up all night fighting for the exam.Leng Xing was not worried about knowing the specimens, she was familiar with it, otherwise she would not be said to be a genius medical student, who was admitted to the ace medical school at the age of 16.But... English words... She gasped, so many, it's going to be a year of the monkey.She still has to go to the rehearsal for the New Year's Eve Gala of the Ministry of Literature and Art, write novel serials, and work part-time. She is really physically and mentally exhausted and unable to do what she wants.Lan Zhuo became more considerate after planning the case, and did not assign any extra tasks to her, but it was okay to go to both the west school and the north school, even if she was an iron man, she couldn't handle it. [2]

The fog is so thick that people can't see everything in front of them clearly.In the botanical garden, a wave of zombies is coming, and another wave of zombies is coming... It lasts and never stops.

Tired?Tired is right, comfort is reserved for the dead.

The hour hand has passed ten o'clock, and the day's rehearsal is finally over.Leng Xing sat on the bus, constantly reciting the solution words.It was already late at this time, and gusts of cold wind whistled past the window.

"Annulus fibrosus (annulus fibrosus), annulus, fibrosus... nucleus pulposus (nucleus pulposus), nucleus, pukposus..."

Who can ride a white horse and step on purple clouds to save her?Even if it's just a little less things!

Inside Shuluobao Library.

The Duke was reading a book quietly, his slender fingers flipped the pages gently, his movements were cautious, making people feel that she was caressing her lover instead of turning the pages.

Old books with yellowed paper, but still intact.While reading the contents above, the Duke stretched out his right hand to draw the intricate patterns on the book.

"Lin's toe, Master Zhenzhen, is in Qilinxi. Lin's determination, Zhenzhen's surname, is in Qilinxi. The horn of Lin, Zhenzhen's family, is in Qilinxi..." The Duke recited in a low voice, And run spiritual power.The index finger of his right hand continued to draw engravings, and the magic circle suddenly emerged, shining with silvery white light. [3]

"No..." Feeling more and more majestic power, the Duke frowned suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.How could she forget that this is still a library, if you draw a magic circle, the power of the magic circle will damage the precious books here!

"Finis!" She shouted, and quickly drew a stop sign with her fingertips, forcibly ending the magic circle she was drawing. [4]

"Hmm..." Suddenly, a dizzying sense of discomfort hit, and the Duke's eyes blurred for a while.It seems that this magic circle is quite powerful, otherwise the power of backlash would not be so great.

The unfinished magic circle rushed towards her with majestic energy, and the wind blew her hair back.The Duke quickly crossed his hands, released a large amount of spiritual power to resist this force, and at the same time protected the surrounding books with a spiritual barrier.

As a result, the energy of the unfinished magic circle sent her flying. She spun several times in the air, and then almost fell to the ground, almost injured.

How could it be so strong!The Duke was a little depressed, which made her very embarrassed. If she knew it, she would not have drawn a magic circle in the library.Look at her disheveled appearance, disheveled clothes, crumpled robes, and dusty boots.There are also a large pile of books scattered around her, which were swept down by the airflow when it was too late to protect her with the spiritual power barrier.

She hurriedly crawled over to check those books, not caring about her own image at all.She loves books like her life, and there are such precious ancient books, many of which are out of print!If it is damaged, I will feel sorry for her to death.

After ten minutes, she finally put away the scattered books.In fact, it would take a few seconds to move her fingers and use spiritual power, but she was afraid that the spiritual power would have any adverse effects on these fragile books.In order to hide the content or prevent unqualified people from reading some precious blood clan ancient books, seals will be set.If the seal is accidentally broken, the book may self-destruct.Moreover, the forceful stop of the magic circle just now caused her spiritual power to flow a little abnormally, and she did not dare to use her spiritual power immediately.

She walked out of the library holding the book she had just read, shocked in her heart.When the flow of your spiritual power returns to normal, you must test this magic circle!It seemed that it had extraordinary power, much higher than the magic circles I had seen before, otherwise she would not have been almost eaten back when it was forcibly terminated. After all, she was quite proficient in the operation of magic circles and the use of spiritual power.

She walked step by step, through the castle hall and courtyard, to a corner of the garden.It is relatively desolate there, with only weeds growing, and the experiment here should not cause too much damage.

"The toe of Lin, Mr. Zhenzhen, Yu Qilinxi. The determination of Lin, the surname of Zhenzhen, is Yulinxi. The corner of Lin, the clan of Zhenzhen, is Yulinxi..." She didn't come out at this moment. Sound, just recite silently in the heart.If the spell that activates the magic circle is not recited, its power will be reduced, but the advantage is that it can prevent others from knowing your formation.

With the place where the Duke stood as the center, a huge engraving emerged.The silvery-white rays of light swim, like a snake swimming, and outline the pattern of the divine beast unicorn on the ground.When the unicorn was drawn, a huge vortex spun out of the Duke's palm with a strong wind. Wherever the vortex went, it was instantly scorched black and not a blade of grass grew.

"My God!" Seeing that the vortex was wandering around and was about to rush to the main building of the castle, the Duke quickly released his spiritual power to stop the magic circle.It seems that not only can't try it in the library, it's better not to try it in your own home!

"Finis!"

This time there was no backlash, the light and vortex disappeared, but the Duke still felt a bit of discomfort... What is the attack range of this magic circle, at least hundreds of meters around her became lifeless.

"Ahem..." The pain in her chest was unbearable, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.He raised his hand and wiped his lips, and the palm of his hand turned red—it was blood!

Recently, her spiritual power has become very strange.Using spiritual power and running the magic circle before did not have such serious side effects, not to mention vomiting blood, even the abnormal flow of spiritual power.Since those two attacks, as long as she used the magic circle, her body would feel unwell... Could it be that the spell Auston left on her hasn't disappeared yet?Impossible, I obviously can't feel his spiritual power left.

Could it be... a seal?If she had a seal on her body, it would not be difficult to explain the abnormal flow of spiritual power.But who can approach her to set a seal?If he wanted to break through the protection on the surface of her body, and then set a seal in his body to restrain the flow of spiritual power, unless the other party was far superior to him in terms of strength and the use of magic circles, he would never succeed.The seal is also a kind of magic circle, but it is only used to suppress power or hide information, and it is not offensive.

She frowned uncomfortably, her eyes dimmed, and she looked preoccupied.

The author has something to say: Note:

[1] Afternoon tea is a way of dining, mostly referring to the British afternoon tea in the Victorian era.Afternoon tea is a time for people to relax. The English teacher here compares English class to afternoon tea, implying that English class is a time for everyone to relax.

[2]雾月是法国共和历的第二个月，对应时间为10月22日-11月20日，这个词源自“十月与十一月间沁出自然的雾霭”。

[3] This incantation is quoted from "Guofeng Zhounan Lin Zhizhi" in the Book of Songs, which is a poem praising princes and sons in the pre-Qin period.

[4]finis is Latin, meaning to terminate. Have you noticed that it is similar to "finish" in English?

The magic circle spell that the Duke recited is a passage from the "Book of Songs", forgive me for not being able to make up any decent spell... and the "finis" that terminates the magic circle is Latin, meaning stop.

Chapter 10 Zombie Attack (Part [-])

After another rehearsal.

Leng Xing was completely speechless about the rehearsal for the New Year's Day party.

The two programs I submitted, one for singing and one for guitar, were dismissed as useless. She admits that she is a blogger but not proficient, but it doesn’t mean that among the thirty or so programs submitted, none of the programs can satisfy the appetite of the Youth League teacher!Could it be that she is the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and her requirements are so strict that she can't hear a good word from so many programs!

If her singing is not that passionate, she can admit it.She didn't attract the audience with heart-piercing roars or scary loud voices, but touched the hearts of others with the emotion in her singing, and in fact, she also achieved good results in love song competitions.But she couldn't figure it out, why did she sing "Godisagirl" so passionately?Are you sure it's not love?If she is more accepting of basic love, at least there will be some bright spots.She thinks this song is more about the need for lyricism rather than relying on so-called passion to create a shocking effect, and it is not "Serving the Country with the Loyalty".If she sang "Serve the Country with Loyalty", she would definitely try her best to sing very passionately.

However, the teacher gave her the answer that she sang without passion and could not arouse the emotions of the audience.

Therefore, she should change to a fresh song.

But isn't Xiao Qingqing even less passionate? !She is really confused.

Well, if that's the case, then she'd be fine with a solo guitar piece.

The problem is, the teacher feels that her guitar playing is too ordinary, without gorgeous melody and without... passion.

Why do you have to be passionate!It's as if you've lost your mind!

Leng Xing walked on the road with his guitar on his back, his shoulders kept heaving, and he bit his lip in depression.

"Why does "Godisagirl" have to be sung with passion?"

She typed a text message to the Duke.

"Passion? Isn't this song lyrical?"

The duke quickly replied.

When the Duke saw this text message, she also felt very strange. According to her own understanding, "Godisagirl" really does not need passion. For such a slow and lyrical song, it would be weird if it was sung with passion.

"I think so too, but the teacher of the Youth League Committee insists on some kind of 'passion', otherwise she won't be able to incite the audience, and the audience will be left out! What's worse, she also thinks there is no 'passion' when I play "Raindrop"! What's wrong with this piece? There may be passion!!!”

Leng Xing was about to explode.If she had to find passion from the sound of lingling rain, she would rather enjoy a few more "afternoon teas", at least she would not have such a serious sense of disobedience.

"The guitar song "Raindrops"? Can you play the guitar?"

"Well, classical guitar, but the level is average."

"Would love to hear it, I can't play the guitar."

"Then what will you do?"

"Piano, violin, bagpipes, trumpet, drums."

The duke answered truthfully.

"are you human?"

Will so much! ! !She was astonished.

"……no."

After a long silence, the Duke spoke the truth again.

Leng Xing never thought of the true meaning of "not human".

"Yesterday I came back from West School alone!!!"

"No one with you? The base camp of the medical school?"

"That's right, I walked alone in the West Campus. The West Campus is indeed very quiet. It feels cool and comfortable in summer, but the nights in winter are really gloomy. The atmosphere is weird and makes people feel cold! There are no lights on the road. It was pitch black. I didn’t know how to get out, so I turned around a few times before getting out. It was like, if I didn’t freeze to death, I would have been scared to death.”

"Put more clothes on. You don't know the way?"

Although the Duke doesn't feel the cold, she knows that Leng Xing is very afraid of the cold.That day in the hospital, when night fell, Leng Xing hugged himself tightly and curled up into a ball.

"I don't know... I'm Lu Chi, Lu Chi!"

"Road crazy?"

"That's right! I'm in the North School, and I can get lost with a map! That day I wanted to borrow a book from the library, but I didn't know where I was going. I walked for more than ten minutes looking at the map. In addition, I got lost in the city where I stayed for 16 years. At that time, I was still a primary school student, and I took my classmates to the park to play, and then I came to a deserted village. Uncle Coal just came out. Also, I was still lost in the high school cafeteria, and my friend took me to eat in the underground cafeteria, and then... I couldn’t get out without her.”

"...This is the second weakness I know you have besides walking and falling easily."

The Duke looked at such a long passage, each of which was about the dark history of Leng Xing's idiot, and couldn't help smiling when he was speechless.Although it sounds a bit stupid, he is really a cute person.

"Maybe my mother has such a good sense of direction, so she spoiled me. When she took me on a trip before, she was always very good at quickly finding the place to go, distinguishing the east, west, and north, so I didn't know everything. Don't worry... well, let's not talk about this, I'm really busy recently..."

"What are you busy with? Studying? Club activities? Or the student union?"

She doesn't seem to be very willing to talk about her mother.

"Well... both. Study, the vascular system (the vascular system actually refers to the cardiovascular system composed of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries and the lymphatic system composed of lymphatic channels, lymphatic organs and lymphatic tissues) and There are quite a lot of content about the visual apparatus (in layman’s terms, it is the eye, which is composed of the eyeball and the auxiliary apparatus of the eye, which is the structure that protects, moves, and supports the eyeball), and the teacher said that this is also the focus. Chemistry and The high math class is still the same, basically there is not much difference between listening and listening, the English teacher keeps giving us trouble, maybe she really can't find time."

"Don't use such professional terms, I still need to check..." The Duke felt depressed from the bottom of his heart.She is not a medical student, how could she know what "vascular system" and "optical apparatus" are!Although I can still guess a little bit from the literal meaning, it is only a little bit.Fortunately, her library has a rich collection of books, and there are all kinds of books, so she is a majestic Duke of the Blood Race, and now she is sitting in the library and flipping through - "Systematic Anatomy"...

"Sorry, I usually use it casually when I talk to my classmates. After all, everyone learns the same way so you won't understand...I forgot."

"It doesn't matter, I'm already reading your textbooks." It doesn't look so boring, but it's still a magic circle, which is more to my taste.

"Ah?!!! It seems that although you manage the company, you really have plenty of free time... I used to read that book a lot, but now it's a bit overwhelming."

The Duke couldn't help but smiled wryly after seeing the reply.

"It really is free enough"... I am not free, but I can't talk to her about what I do.In order to study the magic circle, she did not rest for three days and three nights.Although she is a vampire, it's just that she has less sleep time, and it's only during the day, so she still needs to rest!

"Anyway, the subordinates are in charge... Sometimes it's good to have a meeting."

"Meetings and stuff, it's a nightmare... Every time we have a college meeting, I have a terrible headache. Last time I talked about things like failing courses, retakes, make-up exams, and course selection, I talked about it for two whole days. After hours, everyone still didn’t understand.”

"I don't like meetings either. Medicine is fun."

Your school's administrative efficiency is really low... The Duke thought to himself, it's more troublesome than those old men in the Presbyterian Church to be unable to explain things clearly after such a long meeting.When she went to the company to hold the board of directors, she just went through the motions. Anyway, she was neither the real executor nor the chairman, she just listened.What really tortured her was the Council of Elders. Every time there was a regular meeting, she would run away if she could, and if she couldn't escape, she would just sit there and pretend to be dead.

"Yes, otherwise I would definitely not study medicine. The cost is high and the time is long. But it would be great to be able to cure diseases and save people. I want to heal the dying, heal the wounded, and cure all the ailments in the world, bringing them health. I I have sworn oath~" After writing here, Leng Xing had a smile on his face, "But it would be great if there are fewer things to do, I don't have much time to read books. Club activities don't take up too much time, but the affairs of the student union don't matter. Not much. Weekly rehearsals are a must, no matter if you have something to do or not, you have to sit there. Every time it ends very late, and there are no buses for several times... It’s so late, you should go early have a rest."

"If I'm too busy, I won't go. Hmm." She couldn't help laughing when she saw the phrase "rest early". For herself, this happened to be the working time of human beings.

"Then how can it be... Since I have joined the student union, I should do well after accepting this task. How can I run away? Although, I really hope that I can quit~ good night~"

"Good night."

Really nice guy.thought the duke.

One o'clock in the morning... It's time for me to meet those people in the Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian Church of the Vanjo family.

At this time, only Prince Proseus was there, and the other elders didn't know where they were.

The Council of Elders is an organization in the blood clan, composed of respected elders of the blood clan, to resolve the internal affairs of the family.Generally, the prince with older qualifications and higher spiritual power is in charge. Of course, among the elders, there are also those with higher spiritual power and advanced algebra than the prince, called "Methuselah". "Methuselah" means a long-lived person. It is the fourth and fifth generation of the blood family, and its ability is second only to the ancients of the third generation of the blood family.There are thirteen members in the third generation of blood clans, and it is precisely because of them that the thirteen clans were founded, and it is precisely because of them that the "thousand-year jihad" of the blood clans lasted for a long time and could not be stopped for a long time.No one knows whether the ancients still exist. There are rumors that they have disappeared, and some people say that although they were betrayed by their descendants and fell into a deep sleep, they may wake up at any time and reignite the flames of war again. [1]

Prince Proseus is the sixth-generation blood family, the same as the Duke's algebra.All the existing princes are above the sixth generation, and most of the dukes belong to the seventh generation blood family. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Duke of Rose. [2]

Although the blood race can gradually become stronger through continuous practice and the growth of the years, the later the algebra is, the thinner the ancestor's blood is, so the less power can be developed. After all, the level of spiritual power depends more on one's own Talent and potential, cultivation is only part of it.

"Father." The Duke walked up to Proseus in a snow-white robe and cloak, stepped on silver-white boots, and bowed to him.

"You're here." Proseus turned around, sparks flickering on his lips.Amidst the smog, those blue eyes, exactly the same as those of the Duke, were cold and heartless.He was dressed in all black, in stark contrast to the Duke's snow-white attire.

Coldly, the silver moon hung high in the sky above the two of them, emitting a bleak light.

Not far away, a huge magic circle was spinning, and the dazzling red light flowed slowly in every engraving of the magic circle.Under the red light, the faces of the people in the magic circle were pale, their facial features were distorted, and screams kept coming from their mouths.The creepy sound echoed in the night sky and lingered for a long time.

The author has something to say: Note:

[1] The reference material is quoted from the Baidu Encyclopedia entry [Vampire] [Blood Race]

[2] The Duke is actually the fourth-generation blood family. Her memory has been tampered with, and no one knows her true algebra.Prince Proseus is a hybrid of four generations of blood and humans, but his first supporter is a fifth generation of blood, so he is a sixth generation of blood.The princes and dukes mentioned here refer to the princes and dukes whose spiritual power level has reached the upper limit and cannot be improved.

I went to a class reunion yesterday, and fell asleep as soon as I got back, so there was no update...

Thank you Donggu Jun for your strong support~ I will work hard~

The title of each chapter and the first sentence at the beginning are carefully designed by me, and they will be related to the content of this chapter, and have their own symbolic meaning.A lot of things are said by "Mr. Hongdou", of course Mr. Hongdou is me haha~

Although it is my first novel, I wrote it very seriously. Each chapter has bright lines and dark lines, and there are connections between chapters.Some sentences and even words, although they seem inconspicuous, but they are indeed taken care of after seeing~

That’s the end of the digression, Arigado~Finally, I wish my male god a happy birthday [it’s the instructor, don’t think too much], this chapter is dedicated to him as a gift~

Chapter 11 Christmas (Part [-])

If you believe it, you will work; if you don’t believe it, you will not work / Faith exists.

--idiom

Time passed, and it was the end of November.

Leng Xing still felt that he was almost going crazy when he remembered the department test a few days ago.

To her surprise, she memorized all the English words that she was not good at at first with almost abnormal hard work. During the exam, she only made a mistake in writing one of the thirty words.However, her proud specimen identification skills were greatly compromised. In the dizziness caused by the school bus and vomiting, she actually misidentified five specimens!One-sixth!Her correct rate fell below 90%!Thinking of this, she really wanted to cry without tears, and she still yelled until several days after the exam: "I actually regarded the fundus of the uterus as the supraspinatus muscle! , the lesser trochanter is the structure on the femur, and the supraspinatus is one of the trunk muscles, located in the back, adductor magnus and semimembranosus are both located in the thigh), and the English word for deltoid is wrong!!!”

Most of the comments from the students are-

"You still remember your mistakes, I don't even remember..."

"You've made so few mistakes, why don't you say any more..."

And Little Lolita's evaluation is——

"You can actually see the fundus of the uterus as the supraspinatus muscle, I'm convinced."

Leng Xing replied: "Then I accidentally saw the fallopian tubes as muscle fragments..."

This is really a god-level reply!Little Loli choked completely speechless after seeing it.

Regarding the evaluations of his classmates, Leng Xing felt depressed from the bottom of his heart.When she finally found out that her score was 25, while most of the others scored above 27 (out of 30 points), her heart was full of resentment towards those academic masters who pretended to be scumbags: "What the hell are you doing?" pretending to be something..."

If the patients of Leng Xing knew that the doctor in front of them had such a dark history of "treating the fundus of the uterus as the supraspinatus muscle", they would probably be speechless and then commit suicide one after another.

When Leng Xing told the Duke all this, the Duke only replied with one sentence: "You don't wear glasses, do you?"

Leng Xing then admitted to the Duke that she had guessed the truth, and repented for not wearing glasses ("How can I be so stupid!!!"——Leng Xing's original words).

The Duke typed a text message: "I don't think this is really anything compared to getting lost in the cafeteria."

This time it was Leng Xing who was speechless.

Just when Leng Xing was dying for the system solution exam, His Excellency the Duke was very busy.

What the man in black said "don't trust Proseus" circled countless times in her mind, disturbing her like buzzing bees.She kept thinking about the deep meaning of the words, and after chewing and thinking about the words N times, she was still not sure of the true meaning of the words.In fact, after meeting Proseus that night, she kept replaying her father's demeanor in her mind, trying to figure out what was "unbelievable" about it.Judging from the fact that the man in black had relieved himself, it was unlikely that he would harm himself.

On the night we met——

"Here I am, Father," replied the Duke deadpan.

Proseus took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What's the matter? I remember you hate coming here the most."

"About... the magic circle."

"Before that, let's talk about the engagement."

The Duke thumped in his heart, and she cried out secretly, but she was calm on the surface.In fact, this was also the reason why she was reluctant to come to the Presbyterian Council to learn about the research progress of the magic circle.She knew very well that once she came here, she would not be able to escape this problem, but the matter of the magic circle could not be delayed any longer and had to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Prince McKee is missing."

Proseus spoke indifferently.

"what?!"

She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The duke's calm expression could no longer be pretended.McGee will disappear? !How did it disappear? !Does this mean that I don't have to worry about political marriage for the time being, but a prince disappeared for no reason, this matter is no small matter.

"No matter who the person was that day, he should pay the price for his rudeness." Ignoring the duke's shock, Proseus took another puff of cigarette, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Mckey's attack on you, I An investigation has already begun, I really did not expect him to do such a thing."

The coldness in his eyes just now disappeared, and his face was full of guilt.

"Never mind, Father, he hasn't done any real harm after all."

The Duke didn't tell him about Auston's curse on him, nor did he mention his recent abnormal spiritual power.

"Very well, I will look for another suitable partner to marry you."

Sure enough, still can't escape?The Duke looked at Proseus's expression of guilt which had disappeared completely at this moment, and now he was turning cold again, and thought coldly.

"About the magic circle, you did a good job."

After taking his last puff of cigarette, Proseus started to walk towards the red light, his blond hair and black cloak fluttered in the night wind.

"What will happen to those sacrifices...?"

The Duke kept up with his pace, unlike Proseus's silent walk, her silver-white boots kept hitting the ground, and the slight "tack" sound echoed all the way.

"This is not something you should care about." Proseus said indifferently, "You just need to know that there must be a price to get it. The power of the magic circle depends not only on spiritual power, but also on the number of sacrifices. and their abilities."

"Yes, father."

The Duke could not help biting his lip.Those people are probably going to die.

After the Duke finished the sentence "Yes, Father", the two were silent all the way.Under the dark night sky, there were only two figures, one black and one white, walking towards the direction of the red light, and there was the sound of footsteps all the way.

The red light is constantly on and off, and it is carved into a huge circle on the ground. Inside the circle are countless delicate and complex engravings, and the spiritual power is constantly flowing along the engravings, emitting dazzling light. The entire magic circle flickers on and off, like a living body Like breathing.

There were more than a dozen figures in the formation. Although nothing restrained them, they seemed to be bound by invisible shackles. They kept struggling and twisting their bodies, and let out mournful cries.The Duke understood that it was the "binding" effect of the magic circle itself.No matter how powerful the person or blood family that is sacrificed as a sacrifice is, as long as it cannot exceed the power of the stopping magic circle, they will not be able to get rid of the shackles.And the blood on their bodies, which is the power source of the magic circle, is being drained little by little, and the red light under their feet is strange and extremely dazzling.

Even though he was so cold-blooded that he could turn those who disobeyed him into powder at any time, the Duke couldn't help but gasp.The cruelty of this magic circle far exceeded her imagination. She thought that the sacrifices were just drained of their spiritual power to ensure the normal operation of the magic circle. Who knew that since they were going to be drained of all the blood in their bodies, and the process was extremely slow , whether it is human or vampire, very few people can bear this kind of pain, and most people will go crazy during the sacrifice.

"Your judgment on sacrifices is still very good." Proseus said lightly.

The Duke spread his hands under the moonlight, looking at them in disbelief.The slender and perfect hands, which were clearly white and flawless, seemed extremely disgusting and dirty to her at the moment, what cruel hands!Even if she killed countless people before, it was because the flames of war that burned the land left her no choice. Even though countless people lost their lives because of her, as the commander of the war, she did not kill most of them with her own hands. It's war, and I can't do anything about it.And now... those human beings and blood races who were sacrificed... Most of them are innocent, but because of the ambition and conspiracy of the elders, they have to endure such torture...

No amount of punishment can atone for the crimes I committed...

Proseus still deceived her, and she became a sinner!murderer!A murderer with blood on his hands!

Thinking back to this, the Duke clenched her fist again, then opened it again, and she looked at her hand nervously.

More than that, what the man in black said meant far more than that.

"Don't trust...Proseus."

She rubbed her temples and thought.

——"Really?! McGee actually attacked you?!" Proseus's expression was extremely surprised, unlike the normally calm and calm Prince.

Extremely exaggerated... expression.

—— "I will investigate this matter again. Before the results come out, you still need to maintain the status of Prince McGee's fiancée."

Too cruel to be a father's... words.

An act of eager to silence those who know.

Extremely hypocritical...words.

Knowing that she didn't want to marry Prince McGee, she actually said such grandiose words as "blocking her happiness".
